Like I promised, I will be posting up notes and such on the site from the Arabic classes I’ve been taking with Br. Nouman Ali Khan. The cool thing about the class is that each day, bayyinah sends you notes from the previous class as well as a video refresher (sent in beginning).

Here are the notes I took, its just general ideas and also its from day 1 only. Day 3 and 4 were hand written.

Ism-person thing place idea, animals, adjective, adverb, more.

If its not fil and not harf, it’s ism.

Every ism has 4 properties.

2) how do you tell status?

Fil-present, future past tense.

Harf-makes no sense by itself unless word comes next.

Remember those were just my messy notes. For your convenience I will post up the notes that I get through my email.

Is it possible brother if you can post video clip with it becuase it would really help me and thats how I like to learn.
If you cannot post it on the website then can you send them to me somehow please.
